As long as I have a fire I guess

If Australians and Canadians my second favourite country,immediately turn into cave people & never use anything powered again.

Sadly it will l do NOTHING to the temperature or climate.

But they still ultimately want us to live like that. Utter lunacy.

Solar panels not needed in caves.

Was sort of a 1/4 green thinking modern Caring Understanding Newage Type but moving back to the right.

Alas.

Ps join the capitals for those mentally challenged who couldn’t pick my humour.

Canada has roughly 318 billion trees, 40 percent of Canada is forest, we have the market cornered on firewood and carbon sequestration, the climate monkeys can kiss my ass if they think we aren’t a huge carbon sink!

Just remember 318 billion is a huge number, 318 billion seconds ago the ice age was covering my cow pasture a mile high!

Canada is going back to the stoneage because we are planning to reduce carbon emmisions? HUH? More like some of the thinking from the flaterarthers is still stuck in the stoneage!

Polarizing Polly is embracing technology to reduce carbon emissions. The oil industry is investing $24 billion in carbon capture projects. Around the world business and governments are planning for and investing in a low carbon future.

Trees are a carbon sink but what happens to the carbon when they are burnt or decompose? Did you guys not pay attention to the carbon cycle in science?

As the world warms the boreal forest will become a big source of carbon emissions as more fires release massive amounts of carbon.

Like the wood pellets being shipped from BC to Europe to be burned to produce green energy ?
Loaded onto ships than burn a tremendous amount of bunker fuel to go half way around the world ?

Three times more root in the ground than what’s on top of the tree, most of the roots in Canada will never see the light of day.

[chuckChuck]

So tree roots never die and decompose?

Refreshing to read the occasional Australian input.

So tree roots never die and decompose?

At a drastically slower rate. In most forest biomes vast majority of carbon is held in the trees and roots. Soils are generally not of high quality because of this. Grey wooded soils for example. Being that our forests are in temperate and arctic regions the rate of decomposition is much slower than tropical forests. So essentially they suck up and keep carbon tied up longer. It is almost criminal the deforestation taking place in tropical regions for short term gain and long term pain. Soils are inherently poorer quality and degrade faster because of lack of dormant season.

"A quarter of the world’s wetlands are found within Canada’s boreal forest and cover a total area of 1.19 million square kilometres — larger than the province of Ontario. These wetlands help moderate river flows and cleanse polluted water, and support a complex web of species, from microscopic zooplankton to migratory seabirds to large mammals like moose and caribou. They also store massive amounts of carbon, particularly the boreal peatlands, a type of wetland formed by layers of undecayed vegetation. At minimum, the peatlands store 147 billion tonnes of carbon, equivalent to 736 years’ worth of Canada’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions."

The peat swamps alone store 736 YEARS of our emissions.

Canada has 55 to 65% of the world's Boreal forest.

But we must feel shame for being one of the world's largest per capita emitters.

How can we even be considered as emitters?

Scam in so many ways.

Tree roots will decay much the same as you or I, if we are planted a few feet under ground not much of us or the tree roots will gas off to the surface, hence the carbon sink or the fancy word carbon sequestration!

Though perhaps some, politicians and activist types would gas off faster cause they primarily full of crap and hot air.

The carbon cycle operates in equilibrium with relatively slow changes over time unless there is a super volcano or maybe an asteroid. So the carbon cycle absorbs and releases carbon so sinks like Canada's forests, soils and wetlands absorb and release carbon in a continuous cycle.

In the last 200 years humans have altered the landscapes with deforestation, drained wetlands, adopted intensive agriculture and dumped trillions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere from fossil fuels. If sinks were absorbing all the fossil sources of carbon on a global scale, then CO2 levels in the global atmosphere would not be rising. And Canada's sinks are not likely capturing significantly more carbon than they are releasing in the carbon cycle.

Carbon dioxide now more than 50% higher than pre-industrial levels

https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/carbon-dioxide-now-more-than-50-higher-than-pre-industrial-levels

"Prior to the Industrial Revolution, CO2 levels were consistently around 280 ppm for almost 6,000 years of human civilization. Since then, humans have generated an estimated 1.5 trillion tons of CO2 pollution, much of which will continue to warm the atmosphere for thousands of years.

CO2 levels are now comparable to the Pliocene Climatic Optimum, between 4.1 and 4.5 million years ago, when they were close to, or above 400 ppm. During that time, sea levels were between 5 and 25 meters higher than today, high enough to drown many of the world’s largest modern cities. Temperatures then averaged 7 degrees Fahrenheit higher than in pre-industrial times, and studies indicate that large forests occupied today’s Arctic tundra."

CO2 levels are now comparable to the Pliocene Climatic Optimum,

Have you ever wondered why scientists label the historical warm periods, which also coincide with high CO2 levels, as climate optimums?

Yet today we call it climate armageddon?

Do you know what optimum means?

Go green or die!

That describes what a significant portion of the population now believe.

Our Prime Minister may fit the profile?
